Soon after Jitin Prasada quit Congress and joined BJP, Congress leader and former Uttarakhand CM Harish Rawat on June 9 said that it feels like “big slap on his face”. “Jitin Prasada joining BJP is like a big slap in my face. It is sad and disheartening. I am surprised that he called Congress a regional party and joined the party against which his family fought,” said Harish Rawat.
